Log into the 'cPanel' (control panel) for his hosting plan. The cPanel can be reached by going to the URL provided upon registration. It will be included in an email titled 'Information about your hosting plan.'
Scroll down the cPanel homepage, a little past the halfway point. Under the 'Domains' section, there's an icon that has the letters 'www' with the addition symbol ('+') beneath the letters. Underneath, it says, 'Addon Domains.' Click this icon.
Enter the information of your friend's website, which you want to host on your hosting plan. Simply type in the name of your site under the 'New Domain Name' field. Proper format is http://yoursite.com (substituting the name of your real site for the words 'yoursite.com').
Press the 'Tab' key on your keyboard to move to the next field, Subdomain Name. This field will be automatically filled in for you.
Press the 'Tab' key on your keyboard to move to the Document Root field. This field will be automatically filled in for you.
Press the 'Tab' key on your keyboard to move to the next field. Choose a password for your new website. This will be how you access your site's files via FTP. Choose a strong, hard-to-crack password that includes letters, numbers and symbols.
Click the 'Add Domain!' button and you're finished. You are now hosting your friend's website.
